A garden where the light of the Mediterranean meets that of Kochi.
"The Garden of Bordighera" is a one-of-a-kind garden inspired by the radiant works of Monet.
In 2008, Kitagawa Village's "Monet's Garden" Marmottan created the world's first "Garden of Light," themed around Monet's works inspired by his journey to Bordighera and the Mediterranean world. However, after 12 long years, the dry Mediterranean worldview began to fade, so in 2020, as part of the 20th-anniversary project, the "Garden of Light" was completely renovated to restore its brilliance. By re-examining Monet's works, Bordighera, and the Mediterranean world, the "Garden of Light" was reborn as "The Garden of Bordighera," where visitors can experience the beautiful Mediterranean light, plantings, and Monet's works.
At the age of 43, Monet traveled to Bordighera in the Mediterranean with Renoir. He was captivated by the light and colors there, and excitedly created more than 30 works. These works, in which he was strongly impressed by "color through light," are said to be important points in understanding his later creative activities. Using the landscapes he depicted, his travels, and his works as themes, he challenged himself to create a unique garden utilizing the undulating terrain of Kitagawa Village, combining Mediterranean plantings such as palms and olives with Kochi plantings such as azaleas and yuzu. He also incorporated elements of Japanese gardens, using the scenery of the sea and mountains as borrowed landscapes, to create a Mediterranean feel within the nature of Kochi. Enjoy the light and colors of the Mediterranean and the landscapes that moved Monet in the "Bordighera Garden."
